Migraines

For the past week or so, I have been having the worst headaches.  Night before last I was convinced i had a migraine, complete with nausea and sensitivity to light.  Today, I have a slight pain behind my left eye, which started right after I had to tell Brandi one of her hamsters died and she had a complete meltdown. 

I wish Junior was able to afford the health insurance offered at his job, but it is so expensive.  The kids are covered by medicaid, so even if he just covered the two of us, he wouldn't bring home enough money for us to live on.  How crazy is that?  He used to carry health insurance on all of us when he worked at his last job, but back then I was also working, so my pay covered the cost of the insurance.  With his current job, even if I went back to work, my pay wouldn't be enough to cover the cost.  We need to find some cheap health insurance that we can get independent of his work.  Does such a thing exist? 

I miss being able to go see my regular doctor for things like migraine headaches and the pains my mom thinks is my gallbladder acting up.  Going to the emergency room is such a hassle, so I keep putting it off and dealing with things on my own.  I wonder how long I can keep this up?

I do have migraines and they are so bad. Any headaches is bad. It's hard for family to understand because no one can see your pain. Hope you feel better.
